Tortured Quotes

It is a torture to see people whom you don't like.

The only person that deserves a special place in your life is someone that never made you feel like you were an option in theirs.

Shannon L. Alder

We live with this tortured feeling that we must create that which in reality we have the privilege of finding.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

Let my silence grow with noise as pregnant mothers grow with life. Let my silence permeate these walls as sunlight permeates a home. Let the silence rise from unwatered graves and craters left by bombs. Let the silence rise from empty bellies and surge from broken hearts. The silence of the hidden and forgotten. The silence of the abused and tortured. The silence of the persecuted and imprisoned. The silence of the hanged and massacred. Loud as all the sounds can be, let my silence be loud so the hungry may eat my words and the poor may wear my words. Loud as all the sounds can be, let my silence be loud so I may resurrect the dead and give voice to the oppressed. My silence speaks.

They prefer their meals alive and terrified, for fear is their favorite sauce.
